The incense effect.

Param Sara The Bodhi Eau de Parfum

$185.00
Size: 50mL
.
A quietly grounding ritual that feels like a soothed awakening for the mind.

You first notice ginger oil and clary sage, creating a fresh, almost airy clarity that mirrors the idea of mental reset and soft focus.  As you spend time with it, incense and sandalwood bring a calm, meditative depth that echoes the stillness of the Bodhi Tree and the “incense effect” of easing mental clutter and overthinking.  Vetiver and musk add an earthy, rooted comfort that feels like settling into yourself after a deep rest, aligned with the collection’s “emptiness, tranquility, pensive” mood.  The overall experience is tranquil, modern, and intentional—ideal when you want something that feels like an inner pause rather than a loud statement.

Inspired by the Sanskrit idea of awakening, The Bodhi fits into Season 001’s cycle as the moment of soothing emptiness between intensity and release, complementing The Mandala, The Kama, and The Nirvana.  Crafted within Param Sara’s “Eastern Universal Perfumery” vision, it reflects a thoughtful balance of Eastern spirituality and contemporary minimalism, using vegan, cruelty-free formulas and eco-conscious packaging. 

You can reach for it on days when you crave mental space, quiet contemplation, or a gentle companion for journaling, reading, or winding down.

Top: Ginger Oil, Clary Sage
